Vanity: Parenting Advice Requested
10/16/2010 | NL

Posted on 10/16/2010 3:11:36 PM PDT by NittanyLion

I don't ordinarily post vanities, but I am soliciting input on an important parenting question.

Earlier this afternoon my 3 year old son was "helping" me work outside our home when our Democrat candidate for the State House of Representatives approached me to campaign. I was respectful to him. However, my son immediately ran over to his sandbox, picked up a partially-filled bucket of play sand, and while trying to show it to the man he nearly spilled it all over his shoes. I intervened before the accident could happen.

My question to you: Based on his actions, do you think perhaps my son might be some sort of genius?

LOL - true story. He chatted at me for a couple minutes and then moved on. I didn't have the heart to tell him that our absentee ballots were put in the mail two weeks ago. Or that I wouldn't vote Dem no matter what he said.

If it were cement instead of sand and your near a river, he would be a genius... :-)

Your child is definitely a good judge of character. I'd give him (?) high marks for creativity in making it look like an "accident" when he almost dumped sand on the 'rat's shoes.

I don't know if I'd go so far as genius, very close. I'd have given him full marks if the "accident" could have somehow involved a hose/sprinkler and/or dog excrement. :-) Then again, the toddler may not have had those items readily available, thus having to rely on "field expedients." As they say, improvisation is the mark of genius, so maybe your child is one!

I think most children are born conservative. They become liberals because of the intensive indoctrination we subject them to from Kindergarten until they graduate from college. Once they become employed and are taught about April 15th, the smart ones revert back to being conservative.

One of my proudest moments as a parent was when my two year old daughter saw Bill Clinton come on TV and she said: “Look daddy, it’s the scumbag!”

She reamins conservative to this day :) (She’s 15)

I was respectful to him.

Still taking the high road, eh? It doesn't work with Demoncraps.

When salesdroids call, and when the JWs knock at the door, I just point up at the (now) very large paper wasp nest under the overhang on the porch, and never say a word. They leave.

When a leftists shows up, I say some words. When they bow up and want to scrap, I point out the paper wasp nest, while reaching behind me.

I'm done with being nice.

But I don't have a 3 year old to train to be polite (to reasonable people that don't want to enslave him).

Yes, your son is a genius. You - however.....

You should have told him off. Be prepared next time

LOL - that’s a good one! My coworker’s son was in kindergarten during the 2008 election cycle. When the teacher asked if any kids knew of the election, he yelled out “Nobama!”. Luckily he attends a Mennonite school so the teacher thought it was hysterical.

I have no idea where she learned that word in relation to our president. Not sure how she could have separated it from the other words I used to describe him.

I’m kinda glad she did. The other ones weren’t so nice

If he is not a genius he could be a very important seer for our nation.

LOL. Funny story.

If a Democrat comes to my door I say this:

“Just give me $5000 of your own money and I’ll believe you’re serious.”

Your son would be a certified genius had he gone to the cat litter box and done his bucket fill from there....
